Spend a week or two sailing to idyllic European destinations along the many rivers weaving through the continent. River cruises often have a quieter, more relaxed ambiance than big liners; enjoy enrichment opportunities, city tours, vineyard visits and trips to castles while exploring major cities and small towns across Europe.
Visit any number of beautiful and culturally rich cities on a European River Cruise: Amsterdam, Paris, Venice, Lyon, Berlin, Kiev, or Budapest. Art lovers must visit the Louvre and Musee d'Orsay in Paris, the Tate Modern in London, and the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. History and architecture buffs will appreciate the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, and the Prague National Theater. For those looking to stay active abroad, there are plenty of bike paths, kayaking opportunities and hikes like those in the foothills on the Swiss Alps to try.
Sail down the Danube to cities like Vienna and Budapest, or through the Iberian Peninsula to Spain and Portugal. Europe's waterways are seemingly endless, and rivers cruises reach almost all corners of the continent. These are a few destinations you can visit on a European River Cruise:
The majority of European River Cruises sail between April and October, when the climate is mild and warm. Typically a week to two weeks in length, European River Cruises often depart from Amsterdam, Budapest, or Paris. A few days on either end to explore one of these iconic European cities is encouraged.
